ONCE UPON A RHYME tells the story of a young ballet dancer named Prince, who dreams of becoming a hip hop star. As the 2008 U.S. financial crisis threatens his native city, Clifftown, Prince struggles to balance his dance career with his ambitions of becoming a rapper. With pressures to succeed mounting, he’s tempted to adopt a dangerous persona to get closer to fortune, fame and win the battle to save his family. Yet it is his family and closest friends who save him, as their love gives Prince the strength to discover his true voice, win over the girl of his dreams, and find what it takes to be truly free.
